How about those that were injured in the suicide bomber attack?

[Russ]

Here's something I have thought about for years, and the Kabul airport suicide bomber attack made me think of it again: what about all the injured Marines from that bombing?

The news talks frequently about the 13 service people killed, but there were also 18 injured. I don't know the extent of their injuries, but they deserve to be news also. It's not like they can just take a 'get better' pill and be fine - some of them may never walk again. I just don't understand the tendency of news reporters to act as if the injured are not worth being part of the story. I'm sure if some reporters got injured they would think that was a big deal.

I've been thinking and praying for them. Considering I've heard reports of over 100 killed, not sure if that includes our 13 heroes or not, seems the injuries most likely could be serious.

Anybody caught up in bad events has sympathy . 100%

But read the following -- reliable as opposed to MSM crap .

It might help a little and it is just possible that everything you have been told is largely nonsense from start to finish .

It is the hardest thing in the world to source accurate and honest information . The sources for the following are as reliable as you can find and in a different league versus MSM .

Among other key points , please note , "Some of the towers around the airport were reportedly manned (https://twitter.com/nabihbulos/status/1431533548884856832) by members of the CIA's Afghan death squads.)"


The U.S. military has lied for 20 years about the war in Afghanistan. Do not expect it to suddenly tell the truth.Thursday's suicide bombing in Kabul and the following panic killed more than 150 civilians (some 30 of whom were British-Afghan (https://twitter.com/Samiyousafzai/status/1431493940864245767)), 28 Taliban fighters (https://twitter.com/ejmalrai/status/1431121009357242371) and 13 U.S. troops.
Before the attack happened a Taliban spokesperson had told RT (https://twitter.com/RT_com/status/1430930541172256771) that they had warned the U.S. of an imminent ISPK attack.
Repeating Pentagon claims the New York Times describes the attack (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/27/us/politics/marines-kabul-airport-attack.html):

At 5:48 p.m., the bomber, wearing a 25-pound explosive vest under clothing, walked up to the group of Americans who were frisking people hoping to enter the complex. He waited, officials said, until just before he was about to be searched by the American troops. And then he detonated the bomb, which was unusually large for a suicide vest, killing himself and igniting an attack that would leave dozens of people dead, including 13 American service members.If the suicide bomber was so close to the inner perimeter checkpoint manned by U.S. forces why were so many Taliban, who manned checkpoints at the outer perimeter, killed in the incident?
The Times writes (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/27/us/politics/marines-kabul-airport-attack.html):

Just after the bomb went off, Defense Department officials said, fighters nearby began firing weapons. The officials said that some of the Americans and Afghans at Abbey Gate might have been hit by that gunfire.What fighters nearby?

Here's something I have thought about for years, and the Kabul airport suicide bomber attack made me think of it again: what about all the injured Marines from that bombing?

The new talks frequently about the 13 service people killed, but there were also 18 injured. I don't know the extent of their injuries, but they deserve to be news also. It's not like they can just take a 'get better' pill and be fine - some of them may never walk again. I just don't understand the tendency of news reporters to act as if the injured are not worth being part of the story. I'm sure if some reporters got injured they would think that was a big deal.They are statistics for a story that some reporter and his/her editor hopes will get them their big break.

Otherwise? Eleanor Rigby's funeral.

You can bet if the injured were in a U.S. city, and the police were the perpetrators, you’d see non-stop, detailed coverage of their injuries and their crying families. And don’t forget pictures of them when they were 8 years old, in case they are now too old to engender outrage.
